Furyk and Stricker are thought to have been selected because of their years of experience at the top level, while Love confirmed the inclusion of Snedeker, a fourth first-timer, was because of the 31-year-old’s putting ability, something he insists the US team have missed.

‘We need hot putters and there really hasn’t been a hotter putter on tour since the Open (than Snedeker),’ added Love.

‘He brings lot on and off the course and to the team room, he can pair with anyone, he’s a great asset.’

Johnson, meanwhile, was picked because of his all-round ability, he said: ‘(Johnson) is the best athlete on the team and he’s perfect for Medinah.

‘I said I was going to try to plug some holes we had, and I think he does that.’
